Peg's home, for now

We busted her out of The Joint at 5pm with Dr. B's blessing.  She's tired, but the color is back in her cheeks.  She was able to get another paracentesis at 2:30pm-- 3.1 liters this time.

She's not experiencing any nausea, but has heavy-duty prescription anti-nausea pills on hand if she needs them.  She'll rest at home until Thursday morning, when we'll head back out to Roseville for a consultation with Dr. B to determine if she'll do the abdominal port or the 24-hour drip.  So she could be home again Thursday afternoon, but at the latest Friday midday.

Then she's here for 12 days before being hospitalized again for the next round.  This will be the rhythm of our lives for the next four or five months: Peg in for 4 days, out for 3, in for 1, out for twelve.

Eric, I don't know what I did differently this time, but now I'm signed onto the blog with two different names! : ) You guys are going to think I'm a stalker!!! : ) Peg, I'm glad you are home for now, and just have another short stint before the next round. Here's to that going well too! Love to you all... Katie
